THE OPERA HOUSE
At 8 oclock this evening a largo
and gratoful audienco will ho prosout
at the new Opera House and thero
do homage to Mr W G Irwin tho
prinoipal promoter of tho now
theatre and to the oleyor troupe of
amateurs who will ronder the famous
opera II Trovatore undor tho
direction of Mrs Aunis Montague
That a groat succoss will bo ac
complished needs not to bo assorted
Tho new Opnra House furnished to
thrvcapital of the Hawaiian Islands
through thegonerosity of Mr Irwin
and Messrs John- D and Adolph
Spreokel will aud necessarily nuifrt
become the pet of the intelligent
people in Honolulu as will bo
dotnonslrated in tho future
Nothing has been spared iu malt
ing tho now building a structure
waioh would bo an honor and an
ornament to nuy city many times
the size of Honolulu Tbo evident
duty of tho people of Hawaii to sup
port the beneficial enterprise will bo
heartily responded to
It is unfortuuato that the fnstive
opening of tho Opora Houso bai
beon used as an opportuni y for
florae person or persons to ventilatn
personal spilo aud maliciously at
tompt to mar tho nuccess of the
evening
Mr Foter High has published a
lettor in tho Evening Bulletin in
which he after having delivered
himself of many technical terms
states that ho should not daro to
go to a performance thorn tho
Opora House when tho Ihnator is
filled with people
The object of Mr Highs lettor is
really unknown to us That is has
caused ill fooling and diguU it a
fact which the writor of it probably
realize Tho Opera House is as safe
ladios aud genllomon as your own
homos Leavo all nervousness be
hind and even If one of the new
chairs should croak or through an
enthusiastic salvo of applause a lit
tle pastor should drop keep your
seats and dont imagine for a mo
ment that tho roof is comlug down
Wo all remember how the bare walls
of tho burned down Opera Houso
stood for days weeks and months
beforp the uutv building was started j
mani wwflrihu vK
When operations vfro opntied many
thousand p undi of wohht woro
placed on tbo walls in lumber iron
aud workiugruon Tho walls didnt
budjro nud thoy havS no intonlion of
doing bo now Tho dcaro created
by Mr Highs letter and through a
romarkablo indiscrotiou published
in tho Bullotin would dimply bo
ridiculous if it had not catlsod angry
comments aud somo anxioty
Au ostoomod correspondent do
fonds tho attitudo of tho Bulletin iu
publishing tho letter Wo cannot
agreo with our correspondent Tho
publication was ill advisod and does
not rofloct crodit on tho manngo
mont of tho paper in quo lion
Tho Opora Houso however will
opou this ovoning under tho sincere
enthusiasm of Honolulus loading
mon and womon Tho building will
stand many yoais after Potor High
whoover1 ho may bo aud tho Bul
letin are forgotten And tho Opora
House will stand as a mouumout to
our most patriotic citizen William
G Irwin Throo cheers and a tiger
for him and his noble lady
Mr P High you may havo to slut
low without being a mmbor of the
chorus of II Trovatoro

Tho Advertiser criticises Mr High
for his letter about tho construction
of tbo Opera Houso roof aud is
particularly severe on tho Bullotin
for publishing Mr Highs letter
Tho position the Advertiser assume
is that if it know that a building a
ship or any other thing used by tho
public was dangorous to life tho Ad
vertiser would rofuso to say a word
of warning to tho public that it is
supposed to sorve aud by which it
is supported This has been my es
